Wearing a greasers jacket on the back of a scooter? Oh dear

upload the bon bons footage you cowards.

I've only just come across this embarrassing representation of Northern Soul....Wigan council tried desperately in the 1970's to close the Casino down & to stop us attending through Police harassment etc.....go see the Newspaper articles in the local paper from the time if you dont believe me....this is about as far away from NS as you could possibly get, this is what we were/are trying to get away from....are you also going to try & make money of the back of the devotees who died in that building or travelling to or from the Casino....it was a den of iniquity at best, great music most of the time, & drugs were readily available, used by most & was the fuel the All Nighters ran on....you didn't like us then....what has changed, other than trying to make money out of our scene, all you have is a ready made crowd of Divs who would eat their own children for their 15 minutes of fame....thank the Lord that their are still hidden places were devotees still worship, far, far away from such embarrassing spectacles as this.....

Why?

Utter pish and all wrong, handed out heap o nsoul motif stickers, get to fuck

top tits.

that aint northen soul

Now I love Wigan and the great memories of the casino ,I now pop up to the empire roller ring ,for the niters there .and if people . want to make a video and dance ,with out any harm to any one ,good on them ,and we can all say ooo no. But I loved it well done all those who danced and rode there scoters .keep on keeping on .im on my way .

Wonder how many of them where doped up and on cocaine because in leigh they dont know anything else except drugs viloence and to sponge benefits

What they should have done is lined the outskirts of this lot with Soulers from the time ,have them moved in and pushed this lot aside and show them how its done proper,

You just don't learn to dance to Northern Soul you feel it and express yourself on the dance floor.

Line Dancing does not = Northern Soul dancing,lol. If this had been filmed anywhere but Wigan you might have got away with it, even an Essex girl like me finds this a joke.

Calm down everybody, it was a long time ago and we're all definitely older and supposedly wiser! Whatever anyone is dancing like I'm chuffed Northern Soul - the music of my teenage years is still talked about and widely regarded. Forget the 'soulier than thou' atitude, lighten up and enjoy while we're still here to keep on keeping on.

Dance as you want the love of the music is what it's about . Silly people who want to dictate dance are not the music producers of that fine soul music. It is a shame the old guard are upset by people enjoying the soul of the music. Dave Godin would have something to say about it!!

utter shite.

who is the instructor ??? what qualifications has she got to teach "northern soul dance moves" ????????????= typical middle class numpty, trying her hand at being "self employed" got an "O" level in performing arts.

It looks more like an exercise class!

aint got a clue ????

Why is this load of trash been allowed on UA-cam. Surely Wigan Council can be sued for misleading the public. Northern Soul dancing????? all I could see was joggers and line dancers. Please remove it. It is offensive

And Northern Soul wasn't around in the 60s, the music was but it wasn't called Northern Soul nor did they dance to it like they did in the Casino. Also, even though I'm crippled I can dance better than any of the newbies in the film.

Try my channel...Whelleysoulboy64, might get a bit of an Education about Northern Soul, also check out who I subscribe to and who subscribes to me.

What has been seen cannot be unseen, my eyes are bleeding.

We’re thrilled that so many people are viewing our Northern Soul video. Although some of the dancing in the video may not be strictly Northern Soul style the students at Wigan and Leigh College and the other dancers who were involved in the video embraced the style of music and dance - we think they did a fantastic job! We approached many Northern Soulies that go to the local clubs and although they expressed interest in being a part of the video unfortunately they didn’t come to the filming day. This was a project by The Galleries Shopping Centre with support from Wigan and Leigh College and Wigan Council. We wanted to reinvigorate Northern Soul in Wigan and introduce it to generations who may not know about it and its significance in the Wigan community in the 1960s.

Fingers crossed this was for Comic Relief

This should be removed from UA-cam immediately. Dancing to northern soul is a individual and personal thing. Like how rave music did later on. If these dancers (more like line dancing) were used in a music video, I hope it was for country and western as there was very little soul in it. These dance classes are rip offs just milking the fact a film was coming out. Please remove all these "northern soul" dance class videos from UA-cam and let us go back to our underground scene please.

Makes me laff cos it was Wigan council who closed the Casino down because "There were plans to build on the site"? Then it caught fire, mmm? So this is like a "Look what we killed in Wigan" tribute.

wtf how not to dance northern soul jeeeeeeeez

Omg this woman looks like she is taking an aerobics class, my eyes they are bleeding, there are some things that the eyes cannot unsee. Kids please forget everything this dance teacher every taught you because she is no way a dance teacher, there is not one rythmic bone in her body.

Why didn't the Tutor take the Kids to Wigan Young Souls or any of the other Rare Soul Nights in Wigan to meet and see Dancers at a proper event where they would have witnessed the passion folks have for the music..The Manageress of the Galleries who planned the video was fully aware of the local nights and was given contact details.. I do not blame the Kids but the Tutors and Manageress have exploited a scene they no nothing about and this explains why the video was rubbish

Just plain embarrassing for the northern soul scene. I can't wait for the galleries to be knocked down.

Total Rubbish!!!!!

Line dancing this is ....

This is utter crap.......I have never seen dancing l like this at any northern soul do. Not sure it can be taught......it comes from within, from your SOUL!!

What a crock of **** call that northern soul dancing ...take yourself outside and give yourself a slap your embarrassing . 40 years on scene and I've never seen anything so embarrassing.

Oh dear..........please please please do NOT make any more videos pretending to have something to do with northern soul because you've failed twice now..........stick to the osmonds or bay city rollers if you want to take the p*ss

Please stop what they are doing! Please its making my eyes bleed!!!! The teacher cannot dance kids, take no notice of her. If you want to dance just come to a soul night and do your own thing. DO NOT COPY THIS type of dancing, you will look like a div!!!!

Should be called , How to dance like a Div ....

OMG. Northern Soul girl not dancing in the video!

How did they get the deck to play when the cart cover was still covering the stylus? Wrong label too!!....

WIGAN Council must be two faced idiots... They tried so hard for so long to close the Casino..rather than support it. Now there is some 'fame' to be had they are all over it.. Classic politicians I expect they can claim expenses to go down and have a look at the station road where The Casino stood. As for this clip... no words will do..

As someone correctly pointed out on Facebook, Wigan keeps the faith, let's not forget it was the council who decided to close the Casino. So much for keeping the faith. Utter rubbish!

Why has somebody wasted their time making this video. It's a mockery of what the scene is actually about. Silly silly people

This video does nothing to enhance the Rare Soul Scene in Wigan and although I am from Wigan and attend Soul venues in the Town and across the Country I do not recognise one person.. As for Keeping The Faith it is a blatant rip off of a commercial venture cashing in.. The Manageress was warned that she would make the local scene a laughing stock and took no notice off the advise and has done what folks have feared.. It's a disgrace and if this is how Jill Roberts thinks dancing is done I will give up

A LOAD OF POOOOOHH

What a load of tosh. Where the hell did they get those pathetic dancers from? Wigan Council and the film makers haven't got a bloody clue (as per usual).

Barely caught the concept of Northern Soul, but least Wigan and Leigh has got involved. My personal opinion really.

I saw them filming this video.... As I recall it was a BOLTON company producing this video... KEEPING IT WIGAN... Badly filmed too
